 NB>>>> Up at the Pond, RJ does sausages and meat (and sometimes even
 NB>>>> veggies) over a fire outside... Did steaks and sausages both
 NB>>>> for a couple of meals this last time up at there... He does a
 NB>>>> nice job of it... 
 RH>>> Sounds like he enjoys it too.
 NB>>> He apparently does....   He's quick to tell how he seasoned
 NB>>> things, etc...  
 RH>> You trained him well. (G)
 NB>> Actually, I think he mostly trained himself on that... I've
 NB>> tended to be more utilitarian, at least in his formative years...
 NB>> and he's much more so now than I, besides...  

 RH> So he did pretty well on his own then. Reading labels, playing with
 RH> combinations helps. My youngest sister tried some rather ghastly
 RH> combinations of seasonings before we taught her to read the lables for
 RH> suggestions. It didn't take long for her to catch on the seriousness
 RH> of our teachings.

Once he was on his own, living in an apartment while in college, he
really got into playing with various seasonings... if he had any ghastly
ones, it apparently happened while he was by himself... I never was
served any such... (G)
 
 NB>>> tasty as I'd hoped, somewhat flat, actually... But I had a
 NB>>> bacon/tomato/mayo sandwich one day, and twice had a tomato/
 NB>>> cheese/mayo sandwich...  One day, I cut a tomato half into
 NB>>> wedges to eat with a canned salmon/egg salad and a mess of
 NB>>> mushrooms and onion cooked in my leftover bacon fat... 
 RH>> Sounds like you made good use of them.
 NB>> Yup....   Didn't waste a bit of them, either...  

 RH> That's the best way to use them.
 
Yup...  

 RH>> My knee is still bigger than the other one--don't know if it
 RH>> just takes time for things to settle down or what.
 NB>> It might be the extra hardware partly, but also possibly just
 NB>> from the surgery, and needing to settle down... maybe someone
 NB>> that's had it done previously (like Gail) would have some idea
 NB>> of which.... 

 RH> Time will tell. Still not even 6 months since surgery.

And Gail should be askable at the Picnic....
